Synopsis

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. Obsessed with serial killers, he never wants to be one. Yet terrible impulses constantly tempt him.

Having grown up helping his mom at the family mortuary, dead bodies are no big deal to John. Helikes them, actually. They don’t ask for the empathy he’s unable to offer. Perhaps that’s what gives him the clarity to recognize that something is frighteningly different about the freshest body on the slab.
For the first time, John must confront a danger outside his own mind, a threat he cannot control, a menace to everything and everyone hewould love, if only he could.

Dan Wells’s debut will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.

About this title

Review:

An unabashedly gory gem... this deft mix of several genres features a completely believable teenage sociopath (with a heart of gold), dark humor, a riveting mystery and enough description of embalming to make any teen squeamish even if they won't admit it. Buy multiples where it won't be banned (Kirkus)

Book Description:

The first in a darkly comic series with a supernatural twist, now a major motion picture released in August 2016 in the US and on general release in the UK from December 2016
